2021 Acura ILX 4dr Sedan w/Technology and A-Spec Packages (2.4L 4cyl 8AM)
16 of 16 people found this review helpful
Great entry level luxury sedan, from the sporty look and feel to the excellent handling. We opted for all the upgrades, A-spec, premium and technology packages. Nice jump off the line, but not as robust once going 60 or more, but that is a tradeoff. The voice navigation system is well done, allowing for hands free lookup and routing to restaurants, shopping and other points of interest. Lots of upscale features for safety and comfort, including lane assist, collision warning with auto braking, a myriad of air bags, auto sensing rear view mirror and 2 driver seat memory positions. If you are looking for a lot of luxury features, but want to stay under the 35k price tag, this car is a solid choice. We love it.

BANG FOR YOUR BUCK

This car comes with a lot of features that other cars don’t come close to having in this price range. If your looking for a small, nice, luxury commuter this is the right car for you. Dealer also took a big loss selling me this one, sales were very slow. The DCT transmission for this car is just phenomenal I truly am lost for words about the driving experience. It is very impressive for what it’s set out to be. Acura is if not more as reliable as Lexus and Toyota, but Acura’s are made for performance and precision. Toyotas are slow compared to this thing. I would definitely take a look at this car if you’re in the market.

I bought the Aspec for $33,000 it was worth every penny. I really don’t understand why some are saying it’s an ok car? It has good power,great safety features,great looks and awesome reliability! Any other in its class is $10,000 to $15000 more!

An excellent car - top notch performance and looks. Even with the fully upgraded packages, still cheaper than other entry level luxury car base models with no upgrades (Lexus, Mercedes, BMW, Audi). Great entry level luxury car for the price. Infotainment system is outdated and could look better - my one con.

I just purchased a 2021 ILX, with the premium package, used. I was in a Hyundai Elantra SEL. There’s a huge difference! The Hyundai comes with no power seats, no sunroof, only 16” rims, and 147 HP, with a sluggish CVT. I feel like I jumped out of a fiat, into a BMW? Only $27 more a month, than I was paying for the Hyundai. The Acura has much better power, and all the bells, and whistles I wanted? Beautiful interior, great sound system, so far, I love it.

The 2021 ILX absorbs bumps like a Trabant. Worst suspension of any modern vehicle I have driven or ridden in. Extremely inconsistent throttle response. Sometimes it is perfectly linear and responsive. Other times, it struggles altogether to maintain a consistent speed. Nobody can figure out why. Various clunks/noises accompany acceleration and breaking. These aspects would make the Trabants envious. Cheap is expensive. Never forget!

This is a nice, medium size entry level luxury car. Having owned Audis, Mercedes and BMWs, I would put this car right up with them. It has a very stiff ride, so people who liked driving the 80’s and 90’s Audis would enjoy this car. The only negative that I would mention is the gas mileage could be better. After 5 months, I am averaging around 30 MPG. Similar sized Hondas do much better.

I am leasing my 2021 ILX Premium Package as I wasn't sure if I wanted a smaller vehicle or larger. I have had it a year and it is quite great! The pick up/drive is nice, the features are nice, and it's great for blaring music. I get compliments all the time on it, and was even asked what I do for a living to be able to afford it. I have 2 complaints only. It is a bit outdated on the dash and I wish it got better gas mileage. I am overall happy with it, however, and am considering keeping it after my lease period.
